Response to FSA’s Consultation Paper on Disclosure of Contracts for Difference

The London Stock Exchange has responded to FSA’s consultation on a disclosure regime for Contracts for Difference (CFDs).

We generally support the FSA’s proposals to increase transparency on CFDs and we agree the scope of the regime should be extended to similar economic interests. However, we encourage the FSA to consider the Transparency Directive approach of disclosure of full notional exposure for countering anti-avoidance issues.
